Vinca-Domain Binding Agent
Synonyms

Vinca-Site Binding Agents

Definitions

Any of a class of anti-mitotic compounds that bind to the vinca site of the beta tubulin subunit, a region located within the middle domain of the tubulin structure and corresponding with a residue sequence approximating 177-215. The agent binds to the vinca site to produce a conformational change in the protofilament structure and at high concentrations, to induce the formation of spirals and crystal aggregates; these changes impair the polymerization of tubulin dimers and thereby, prevent the (source : )
